Status MM5 neck with ultralites and a D tuner drilled for 6 bolt absolutely standard MM fitting. £340 new - that is what the bare undrilled neck costs from Status. This has (fitted by Status) Hipshot licenced Ultralite machine heads from a Lak Skyline and a US D-tuner and was drilled by Status for body fiitting - that all added up to another £200. £340 as it is

2 x Nordstrand MM5.3 - £99 new each. £60 each .

Badass V slotted for MM5 spacing - £50

East MM-preamp with sweepable mid £140 new - £80.

>to confirm, your selling a bass with an ash with birdseye maple top body with a fretted status neck??

Yep! :)

The reality is that I would love £650, but it is such an odball to price that I just don't know if that would fly.

I was honestly expecting to part it out, and that is kind of about what it would come to.

If someone wants to give me £650 then I would be happy to ship it to their door.

I am in Bangor, North Wales.

Quote from 1st post - "A long time ago I bought a Stingray 5 (on a 4 hour detour on my honeymoon. How my new wife laughed!). I then bought a MM fretless neck for it. I then made a template from the body (ash + luscious birds eye maple 1/4" cap with a subtle rosewood veneer coachline between both) and bolted the the fretless neck to that and flogged the original Ray 5."

In case anyone thinks that I am getting arsey here, I know Mr 252 very well :)

The body was made by a local luthier who did all the technical stuff and then I did the grunt sanding work :)

I have my eyes on another bass now and will send this to your door for £550

I've just spent half an hour working out if I can afford this, and I probably can...if I don't want to eat next month :) it's a real toss up between eating and buying this bass, seriously...
